Back Stairs: Something Ruby for Mamie
Br RICHARD E. MOONEY
United Prtn Correspondent
Washington U.P.) Back stain
at Walter Reed hospital:
It'i a fair bet there's something
Mbjr in Mamie Eisenhower's
near future. No one has been
leaking any White House secrets,
but Sunday is the Eisenhowers'
40th wedding anniversary the
ruby anniversary. President Eis
enhower is one husband who
doesn't forget anniversaries.
When President Eisenhower
Joins other American chief exec
utives in Panama next month,
many of his counterparts are ex
pected to show up at formal af
fairs wearing brilliant collections
of medals and decorations. Mr.
Eisenhower could wear quite a
chestful himself, but he has de
cided to wear only one decora
tion a medal conferred on him
by the Panamanian government.
The "White House office" at
Walter Reed hospital is a 20-by-30-foot
lounge, the kind you gen
erally find at the end of a hos
pital corridor except that it's
fancier and busier. The custom
ary easy chairs have been aug
mented by two desks, two type
writers, and five telephones.
President Eisenhower's military
ide, a secretary, and the aide to
the commandant of the hospital
are posted there ready to do
whatever their chiefs bid.

Are there some outstanding
trrruways, freeways or turnpikes
in your section? If so, the next
time you count your blessings be
certain to include them. 1 just
made a trip via a pair of thru
ways in less than half the time
It formerly took by regular high
ways. By the New Jersey Turn
pike and the magnificent Garden
State Parkway. And. of course,
in addition to the decreased time
for the trip there were no irri
tating traffic problems. Starting
from midtown Manhattan we
were coasting through besutiful
Monmouth county in practically
no time at all. Yes, sir, in 30'
minutes we were in the heart of
Monmouth county, birthplace of
ao many beautiful and celebrated
women and fast horses. What
women? Well, just to name two,
Molly Pitcher and Vivian Blaine.
Horses? Why, sir, regret the only
filly to ever win the Kentucky
Derby was born in Monmouth

Could "ha wo'-k you do be
handled entirely by a machine?
In Derby, England, there is a so
ealled "robot factory." All the
work is done by machines. Only j
two men are necessary to be on
hand to repair or adjust the ma
chinery when necessary. The
machines in this factory work
non-stop. 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. The organization
utilizing this "robot" system
manufactures powder for use in
plastics, rubber, paint and wall
paper. Guide To Call
Women born under Capricorn
(Dec. 22-Jan. 20) are possessed of
.much common sense. They are
excellent managers of a home, a
business or a staff. They also
handle husbands well. They are
definitely career minded. Never
happy unless they have their
own pay check. Most of the
troubles of Capricorns come
from unfortunate love affairs or
unhappy marriages. Or, so say
the stargazers.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q.
How
long ago was it the fashion for
women to feature stuffed birds
on their hats? A. Couldn't say
definitely. However, the song
titled "The Bird on Nellie's Hat"
was written in 1906. Incidental
ly, Eddie Foy introduced that
song. Q. What is the world's rec
ord for attendance at a basket
ball game? A. Seventy-five thou
sand. That was the attendance
at the Berlin Olympic stadium to
see a game featuring the Harlem
Globetrotters. Q. How does the
figure of Anita Ekberg compare
with that of Marilyn Monroe?
A. Ekberg measurements are
391-23-37. Monroe 37-23Vz-37':.
Both young women are too
bulky in spots. To achieve the
type of figure a well-dressed
dramatic actress or woman of
fashion should have both Anita
and Marilyn should have two
inches clipped from their hips.
Or, so say our horses and women
experts.
Asidas
When asked to name their
congressman and the senators
from their state only one person
in 30 can answer offhand. So, if
you can name your representa

dent's personal secretary, has
been using one of the typewrit
ers lor dictation she takes from
Mr. Eisenhower almost every
morning.
The White House won't reveal
what gifts the President has re
ceived since his operation, but
there is no secret about the sur
prise, portrait given to News Sec
retary James C. Hagerty the oth
er day by the Advertising Club
of Washington. Hagerty took the
handsome, youthful likeness of
himself straight home and prop
ped it on the mantel to startle
his wife when she came in. It
hangs now in the Hagerty den
and the Hagertys are very, very
pleased with it.
An Army wife paid a quiet
visit to the hospital's emergency
news room the other day to see
where the press operated on her
favorite surgeon. She is Mrs.
Leonard D. Heaton, wife of the
Walter Reed commanding offi
cer, the man who operated on
President Eisenhower.
She has been graciously turn
ing down requests for interviews
since that famous day, and she
has not even peeked in on any of
the dozens of press conferences,
though bursting with curiosity.
She is known ai a charming, vi
vacious lady, but she leaves the
spotlight to her husband.
The short-lived order putting
Pentagon military officers into

civilian who still wears his olive

Art ;
Not long ago a Dublin art
critic attributed the supposedly '
enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa '
to a pair of badly fitting false !
teeth worn by the model. Now j
the French art expert. Georges
Iiario. says the Mona Lisa is a
portrait of a man!
Twins
A married couple can be in
sured against the expense of hav
ing twins but the price of the
policy is not the same for all
couples. If there has been an un
usual number of twins in the
family of either the wife or hus
band the policy costs more. That
is because twin births usually
run in families. Incidentally,
Mrs. Paule Tremblay of Rober
val, Quebec, has given birth to
seven sets of twins. Her descen
dant will have to pay plenty for
twin insurance.

'Mutual Interest Bank'
Urged for Middle-Age
Ithaca, N. Y. (U.R) A fam
ily life conference has recom
mended that middle-aged couples
build a "mutual interest bank"
to keep from drifting apart after
children leave the home.
The annual conference at Cor
nell university suggested that
"middle-aged boredom" could be
avoided by "banking" for future
use the hobbies, travel and en
terprises which couples did not
have time for when life centered
on the family.
Umatilla Farmer
Uses New 'Soil Bank'
Portland (U.R) A Umatilla
county farmer was the first Ore
gon rancher to use the adminis
tration's new "soil bank" pro
gram by plowing under 802
acres of wheat in favor of putting
the land In "acreage reserve."
The farmer will receive $17,
853.43. according to Arnold N.
Bodtker, administrative officer
in Portland for the state Agri
culture Stabilization and Con
servation Committee.
An appraised yield of 15,121
bushels for the farm was paid
at the rate of $1.18 per bushel.
This, it was explained, was con
siderably less than the farmer
would have received had he
harvested the crop.
Bodtker said the farmer de
cided to turn the crop under
because the wheat was intermix-
Shipyard Worker Strike Headed Off
Portland !U.R) A strike of
some 14,000 shipyard workers
on the West Coast was headed
off yesterday by an 18-cent hour
ly wage increase.
The agreement, announced by
Thomas Rotell, secretary of the
Metal Trades Council, raised
straight time pay from S2.29 to

ers. It also called for about one
